The second most important thing in your life
|
It’s weekend. You’re probably in the couch… and unless you’re reading stuff like this newsletter and review how you can make more money… BAD! ​ You’ve heard me saying it before. The most important decision in your life that will decide most of your chances of success is… ​ ​ ​ ​ Ahh… let me add something. ​ The most important decision that will determine your chances of success and wealth is… ​ ​ The place you live. ​ ​ Yes, sorry. Very simple. ​ Now you wonder, why people all around the world despite Trump and the media saying good and bad things about him and the USA, want to still go to the US. ​ If you live in your home town of 4.100 people… your market is very limited, your providers, your talent pool, the jobs you can access… everything. Limited. Clients and money available to pay for you and/or your services. Very limited. Even if you have good connection to the internet and you dream about a solo freelancering thing. Limited. ​ But let me tell you the second most important thing… ​ And it isn’t what happens to the S&P 500… ​ But, it’s your partner. ​ Yes. The person you marry or stay around with every day.
If that sounds dramatic, it’s because it is. But also: it’s math. Married people build 77% more wealth than their single counterparts, according to research published in the Journal of Sociology. According to the St. Louis Federal Reserve in the US, married couples had $393,000 in median wealth in 2022. Unmarried individuals: $80,000. Economists say married couples are more likely to own appreciating assets. When you have a partner, you share dreams and realities. You’re merging balance sheets and belief systems, and the ROI can show up in every part of your life: Better financial outcomes Higher net worth More emotional resilience A stronger foundation for your kids Longer lifespan, fewer health issues, lower rates of depression. ​ Logically, if you stay in a small town… the pool of potential partners is quite reduced… ​ Well… if you’re single, time to switch to Tinder or… Click in the link below (also valid for happy married ones)

Suggesting beats showing. Always. Just see what happens to women that show too much. They attract the wrong type of men… or probably not. They just attract all men… and then, it’s more complicated to do a good selection. The chances of getting it wrong increase. But if they just suggest, they tend to attract a more sophisticated level of men. Less brutal, savage, and basic. Then, the chances of getting the wrong type of men decrease. And remember, women risked their lives having s€x not long...
You can find horror stories almost everywhere. Not just developed countries. And successful ones too… as it’s not rocket science. Before 2010, the Philippines’ PPP program was infamous for all the wrong reasons: legal uncertainty, endless bid delays, weak feasibility studies, and risk allocations that scared investors away faster than typhoons. So they decided to stop, review, learn and repeat. They started to ask the market about what was wrong with the last projects. They noted. And decided...
You know that moment when a government says: “We’re launching a massive PPP program.” Or… “We are going to partner with the private sector to build roads”! Everyone claps like seals because… wow… private money, shiny highways, “international best practice,”. Re-election secured. Mexico did that in the early 90s. Fifty-two highway concessions. I repeat. 52 PPP fever everywhere. The “future” of infrastructure. And we’ll build Speedy Gonzales speed. Spoiler: It didn’t end well. Actually, it...
